Interview: Ex RCD Mallorca chief on why now is the time to invest in Spanish football

Bumper broadcast deals and stringent financial controls have put Spanish clubs on a sustainable path, making them “especially attractive” for international investors.

One quarter of La Liga clubs’ TV money “…is based not on legs, but on brains. On your ability to grow your TV audiences and your ability to grow your ticketing income.” That structure is an opportunity for owners to make a solid return on their investment

Owners might be reluctant to sell – certainly for big discounts – but Maheta Molango, the former RCD Mallorca CEO, believes that multiples on Spanish clubs will only increase.

Molango, who turned big losses at Mallorca into solid profits, calls La Liga’s financial regulations basically “crazy” but praises the work of the league and the progress in transforming club finances.
